The Vancouver Polar Bear Swim Club is one of the largest and oldest Polar Bear Clubs in the world. It's initial swim was in 1920 when a small number of swimmers took the plunge into English Bay on New Year's Day. Led by their founder, Peter Pantages, the swim has grown from around 10 swimmers to the new record of 2,550 official entries set in 2014.
